La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
I waited patiently upon the Lord
And He inclined and heard my cry
He pulled me up out of the miry clay
He set my feet upon a rock
He gave me beauty for ashes and
Joy for my mourning and
Praise for heaviness
He put a new song in my mouth
And a crown upon my head He gave me
Life forevermore
You’ve been so good, so so good to me
So good, so so good to me,
So good, so so good to me, Jesus
He picked me up and He turned me around
And He placed my feet on the solid ground
Hallelujah
I’ve got love, joy, peace and righteousness
In the Holy Spirit
Oh, oh, oh,oh, yea
